Impact

ACS provided mental health services to 438 court-involved children and families last year. We intervene at critical points in a child’s life when positive outcomes are still possible. Our staff, composed of social workers, mental health counselors, and psychologists, provide these services at no-cost to children and families.

In FY18, ACS staff provided:

508 comprehensive diagnostic evaluations

98 same-day emergency evaluations

209 hours of no-cost treatment provided

237 kids and families receiving Education & Advocacy services

ACS identified three key measures to track children’s outcomes and program effectiveness. Our highly skilled clinicians follow-up with the clients and families to track these specific outcomes.

79% of children increased their compliance with treatment and recommendations

83% of children improved their attendance at school or an alternative educational setting

Adolescent Consultation Services supports and empowers court-involved children and families by providing mental health prevention and intervention services to help them envision and work toward a better future.
